I’m sure their reports will be filed soon, but in the meantime here’s a New York Daily News report to tie you over. They took cameras into the place over the weekend, and interviewed the owner. I don’t know if we agree with his logic (“If it works in Italy…”), or his insistence that regular pizza isn’t portable enough (!?!), but you have to sympathize with his doe-eyed enthusiasm! Also not reassuring is the news that each cone takes 5 minutes to make, after you’ve picked your toppings. (No wonder it’s so packed!) Is it just us or does this place have Kolache Mama and Empanada Joe’s written all over it?

Yeah, the pizzacone was bad, but not as bad as the comments on ML have made it out to be. I don’t think it’s necessarily a bad idea either; there are plenty of times in which holding and folding a slice of pizza with the oil dripping down isn’t very pleasant (say, when you’re holding a bunch of other stuff and are wearing nice clothes). Not surprised the ML crowd isn’t crazy about this, but as a general concept pizzacones will always have plenty of fans in this city. New Yorkers want convenience; well, here it is.

The problem with my pizzacone was the implementation. The cheese was mediocre, and the sauce – the real downfall of the thing – is somehow both overly tarty and sweet. I didn’t get any toppings on mine, so my cone was basically just not-great cheese surrounded by a sliver of bad sauce, and then (surprise) more of the aforementioned sauce at the bottom. “Pizza,” this is not.

I actually would try this again, believe it or not. Next time, I will go for something a little more meaty, and with the pesto instead of the tomato sauce. Yes, it is extremely overpriced, but you guys didn’t need a review to tell you that.

Thanks for the review Chetp! I usually have trouble parting with money on things that I know are a total ripoff—but I think I will also suck it up….While it doesn’t sound good, it doesn’t sound totally unedible.

Spyder, you’re right, it’s going to be a madhouse. 5 hour waits for chicken, running out by 1130 am. People will camp out the night before opening day. It will be months before anyone will be able to get korean fried chicken in under an hour.

Wow, DocChuck09 finally figured out you can reply to a comment. Now THAT didn’t take TOO long, though I would have expected that an expert troll like him (especially for someone who touts his education as often as he does).
